Abstract: Objective To know the correlation about PetCO_2 and PaCO_2, the meanings of PetCO_2monitoring in respiratory failure patients with mechanical ventilation, and then summarize the related nurs-ing points. Methods Divided 112 patients in ICU into the A group(58 eases) and the B group(54 cas-es) according to their station of hemodynamics. Mechanical ventilation were used in both the two groups,PetCO_2 and PaCO_2 were monitored at the same time, and then observed the correlation of PetCO_2 and Pa-CO_2 in both the two groups. Results There was a significant corrlation in the A group about PetCO_2 and PaCO_2, while the correlation in the B group was not significant. Conclusions PetCO_2 and PaCO_2 had sat-isfactory corrlation in patients with stable hemedynamies, PetCO_2 monitoring can take place of PaCO_2 in these patients with its sensitive, atraumatic, consecutive and convient merits.
